So, thoughts: - very low ridership by Tokyo standards, but beat predictions and turns a profit; on track to pay back its construction loans
- ridership will grow substantially as the land around the route gets built up (it is still very underdeveloped)
Overall, a solid investment by local governments (who loaned most of the construction money) with high growth potential. Also...
...the striking trains on the Tsukuba Express are some of the region's fastest (for commuter trains), operating at 80 mph.
